| A tribute to Dutch neuropsychology ...... |
| Holland has many fine neuropsychologists. Here are a few as I saw them at the INS meeting, July 10-13, 2013 |
 |
Dirk Bakker Dirk has contributed to the study of dyslexia, including the 1990 book "Neuropsychological treatment of dyslexia". He has also been very active in the INS; he was the organizer of one of the first European INS Meetings, in June 1978, in Conference Center Leeuwenhorst in Noordwijkerhout.
|
|
Anke Bouma Univ. of Groningen Anke's early work was in hemispheric specialization, and she has since ranged widely, including developmental neuropsychology, neuropsychological assessment, and dementia
|
 |
|
|
| Sander Daselaar Donders Institute,
Most of Sander's research has been neuroimaging studies of processes in episodic memory
|
 |
|
|
 |
Edward de Haan Univ. of Amsterdam Early work was in visual cognition and face recognition, much of it together with Freda Newcombe and Andy Young. This may still be his preferred areas of study, but he has also supervised over 38 ph.d.-students, and thus ranged widely

Roy Kessels Radboud University Nijmegen
Roy is president of the Netherlands Society for Neuropsychology, and he was program chairman of the INS meeting. His research interests are wide. He has published particularly in areas of memory, using both neuroimaging and patient studies. This includes studies of the neural basis of working memory binding and episodic memory, spatial memory, and memory disorders. |
 |
|
Jaap Murre Univ. of Amsterdam Most of Jaap's reserch is on various aspects of memory, and he is in particular known for his mathematical and connectionist modelling of memory
|
 |
|
Albert Postma Utrecht University
Albert's research is mainly in spatial cognition and spatial memory, both functional characteristics and neuroanatomical basis, using neuroimaging and patient lesion studies. He is also interested in other aspects of memory.
|
 |
 |
Ben Schmand Univ. of Amsterdam Ben's research is very 'clinical', perhaps reflecting the fact that he worked for a couple of decades as a clinical neuropsychologist before joining the university. His research includes neuropsychological assessment, 'validity testing' and numerous neurological patient groups, prominently Parkinson's diesease and other movement and dementia disorders.
|
|
Jacoba Spikman Univ. of Groningen
Jacoba's research is in various aspects of traumatic brain injury, including deficits in attention, executive functions, and social cognition, and their rehabilitation. At the INS conference, she conducted a workshop on "Neuropsychological rehabilitation of social cognition impairments resulting in behavioral changes"

Harry van der Vlugt Harry was formerly at Tilburg University; now he is in private practice in forensic neuropsychology. He trained with Paul Satz and did research in brain laterality and hemispheric specialization. He was greatly active in INS and served as European Secretary from 1981 to 1994

Martine van Zandvoort Utrect University Martine's research is primarily in stroke and other vascular disorders, and in neuropsychological syndromes such as visual perceptual impairments, agnosias, and executive dysfunction. At the INS conference, she conducted a workshop on "Cognitive assessment at the stroke unit: from bedside testing to full neuropsychological assessment".
